The Island - actually, it is over my expectation!

Rating: Null/10 (13 November 2005)

At first, I assumed The Island will be another Michael Bay-style popcorn movie. However, I was wrong after going out of the theater. Basically, the original story is amazing. It has typical sci-fi elements, and of course, action elements which are "must-be" in Michael Bay's movies. I like the story even more than Arnold Schwarzenegger's The Sixth Day. I like the ending especially. It left more for the audiences to think what is actually happened if all the clones escape out. No doubt, this is still a Michael Bay's movie-car chasing and flying sequences which make all the audiences excited. His MTV-like editing and fast-cut style still exist in this movie. By and large, there are eye-candy CGI, exciting chasing sequences, and amazing story. Steve Jablonsky did a good job for composing music for this movie, and Ewan McGregor is excellent in acting. When Lincoln Six Echo and Tom Lincoln see each other, you can easily tell the two different persons. This is one of my favorite sci-fi & action movie in the summer time in 2005. It is much better than Michael's another crap "Armageddon".
I do love the ending. This story is amazing!
My rating: 9/10
